What I want to know is did the research you did for this thesis strengthen your opinion?

Yes, I would say it did. Yes, I would say so, certainly.

I suppose it would be difficult for you to remember any specific examples of this?

No, I would have to go to the thesis on that, which I can easily put my hands on because I still have one bound copy. Our custom was to keep a copy and bind it, and I actually still have mine. It's right in my library at home, but I will admit that I haven't looked at it in many, many years. The one that was submitted as my requirement had photostats and cartoons of the period and it was quite a hefty work. And I graduated with very satisfactory marks, so I suppose they thought it was alright.

Maybe I can insert that you did graduate magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa. I'd like to ask you one more question on that if you don't mind answering it. How did the New York Times come out in your evaluation?

My recollection is, and here again I really would rather go to the document itself, that the Times came out really quite well. But this is perfectly obvious to anybody who knows anything about the way these papers were handling things in those days. My recollection is that the Sun, particularly, and the World, too, came out pretty badly, but you would expect that.
